asciilifeform: su underground film translators simply had no access to subbing gear
asciilifeform: i suspect there's su-era nostalgia keeping the thing alive. sorta how in jp old farts are ~100% of whale meat market, because mcarthur fed it to'em back in the day
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: traditional ru dub is either 1 voice, or ('classy!') 2, male/female
asciilifeform: and thus the box can breed copies of self
asciilifeform: btw i oughta say a word re how rockchiptron reproduces. i wrote a bit of script, ./breed_boot.sh /dev/sd_whatever_cardreader_with_card_in_it -- produces copy of the boot card ; ./breed_root.sh /dev/large_enuff_disk copies the root partition contents onto a new part on said disk
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: rockchip can drive a single usb3 disk, with appropriate cable.
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: this was a q for ben_vulpes , who has seen what's in the rack and knows if any empty holes
asciilifeform: my local drmengele is, believe or not, the opposite : 'you dun need it' -- proceeds to drill without painkiller. asciilifeform -- used it it by nao
asciilifeform: ^ this is what american dentists do much of the time
asciilifeform: as i understand this even is brainrot from 10y ago; present-day rubyists do not even see the x.y.ago.ago.ago , but 'program' in 'libraries' written by same ( or perhaps even by a generation of 2 of 'programmers in libraries' )
asciilifeform: '... But managing public keys is hard for most users ... The reality is that most people do not want to run their own web servers or social network nodes. They want to engage with the web through friendlier platforms' << sop prikokeism , snoar
asciilifeform was waiting for somebody to 'i was waiting for that'
asciilifeform: and 'declares victory for gpl' naturally.
asciilifeform: the ways these typically end : a) (most common) simply evaporates, no record of wtf happened to the case b) violator supposedly kowtows, 'complies' -- which 100% of the time in practice consists of putting up a tarball ~with the lifted orig turd~, none of the 'viral' provisions of gpl are given any attention at all , but hilariously the plaintiff ~eats this~
asciilifeform: (y'know, the thing that swaps registers in and out, traps i/o for simulating disk/nic, etc)
asciilifeform: which are ~100% documented in amd's datashits
asciilifeform: and the only iron trickery in virtualizers is re: the amd64( and intel's clone ) vmization extensions
asciilifeform: there's a number of variously-working clones nao, e.g. 'virtualbox'
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: their src iirc leaked in 2012
asciilifeform not currently equipped to distinguish these from the usual shannonolade , sadly
asciilifeform: 'where, sir, wouldja like this put !'
asciilifeform: ( speaking of entomological horror, today found https://archive.li/Efx3S in the glue trap : one of those chinese shannonized btc-flavoured liquishit items, but this time claiming to be a trilema article ! )
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: gotta be. tho it dun fully explain it, there was whole separate form that got stapled to it, with names, addresses, errything short of fingerprint
asciilifeform: ave1: i regret to say that us post office has a new and fresh fascism , they returned the fg : 'return address must show full legal name' (it had 's.' , for many years was ok, nao apparently not ) . pretty good scam they run, get folx to pay twice for postage, resending. next they will reject because white envelopes will be disallowed, i expect..☟︎
asciilifeform: interestingly, after half century pause, nagant rounds being made again, commercially -- iirc serbia
asciilifeform: a good candidate for swedish minister of culture, i imagine
asciilifeform: and melpa of course being the 'modern' crapola repo that gives us such marvels as the 9000 dependencies of 'flycheck' ( see logz! ) and other liquishit.
asciilifeform: trinque, phf : phunphakt, without clock set, cannot emerge even gnu screen, it fetches, yes!, from git, and 'ssl certificate not yet valid' didjaknow.
